Description
NICORETTE® gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
It is used to relieve and/or prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings for nicotine that you get when you try to stop smoking, or when cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke.
NICORETTE® gum can also be used when you are pregnant or breast-feeding to help you stop smoking, as the risks to your baby are far less than if you continue to smoke. For more information, see ’If you are pregnant or breast-feeding’ section in the provided leaflet.
Ideally you should always aim to stop smoking. You can use NICORETTE® gum to achieve this by using it to completely replace all your cigarettes. However NICORETTE® gum can also be used in other ways,
• if you feel unable to stop smoking completely, or wish to replace certain cigarettes and therefore it can help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke,
• at those times when you can’t or do not want to smoke. For example,
– Where you don’t want to smoke and avoid harm to others e.g children or family.
– Smoke free areas e.g Pub, work, public transport e.g aeroplanes.
It may also help increase your motivation to quit. When making a quit attempt a behavioural support programme will increase your chances of success.
If you smoke 20 or fewer cigarettes a day, the 2 mg nicotine gum will help relieve your cravings.
If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, the 4 mg nicotine gum may be more appropriate
